Drivers ed crazy

What part of your vision lets you see details?

Central vision

Risk factors are contributed by

drivers and pedestrians, vehicles, and roadway environments.

The correct driver seating position includes

hips pushed all the way to the back of your seat, heel on the floor, ball of foot on the brake, knees and elbows slightly bent and torso at least ten inches away from the steering wheel.

Push-pull steering technique is used for

making most turns and driving through curves.

trail brake just before stopping.

Before making a turn, you should

see a clear path, and then turn your head before turning the wheel.

Aiming for targets help you

steer accurately, find information early, and plan far ahead.

To regulate, to warn, to guide

A red circle and a diagonal slash on a sign means that

Make every reasonable effort to stop.

A sign with an orange background in a diamond or rectangular indicates a

construction zone.

The person on the left must yield to the person on the right and pedestrians.

Line-of-sight restrictions

limit your ability to gain good information about the condition of your intended path of travel.

Path-of-travel problems

temporarily or permanently prevent you from occupying space.

At an uncontrolled T-intersection, who is required to yield?

The driver on the road that ends at the T-intersection must yield to all cross traffic.

To track accurately when backing straight, you should look to the rear

over your right shoulder at a rear target.

Yield to traffic already in the roundabout and pedestrians.

When backing a vehicle, you are required to yield to

all traffic, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

traffic, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

Which of the following is a line-of-sight problem caused by other traffic of other vehicles?

semi-truck you are following too closely

Yielding in traffic means

slow or stop to allow others to go before you

Accurate perception requires that you know

Where to search and what to search for.

To FIND information early, search from one target area to the next using your

central vision

What is a closed zone?

There is a blockage to your line-of-sight or path-of-travel.

To SOLVE line-of-sight problems, you should

check related zones for options, get the best lane position, and use the best speed and communication.

The most effective way to judge space is to

count full seconds to determine the amount of time any given situation takes or the amount of time that seperates any two objects.

How many searching ranges need to be evaluated in your path-of-travel?

Three.

The three steps of zone control are Find, Solve, and Control.

True

The higher your speed, the more distance you will cover with each second.

True

An open zone is space with no line-of-sight or path-of-travel problems, you can see 15 seconds ahead, and you have four or more seconds of following time.

True

The correct hand signal for a left hand turn is

the left arm extended straight out the driver side window

When communicating with other roadway users, you can

assume they never understand your intentions.

An intersection that has no signals or signs is called

an uncontrolled intersection.

What is the proper way to search an intersection where a stop is NOT required?

On approach to the intersection, search 45 degrees to the left, check the front, and 45 degrees to your right.

What is the proper way to search an intersection where a stop IS required?
